warmer milks Soft Walks (CD, £10.95)

label: Animal Disguise Recordings

A really incredibly American Alt-Country styled album! Some truly riveting lyricism, recorded in Kentucky with Paul Oldham (brother of Billy). This is by far and away Warmer Milk's strongest release to date, invoking the sounds of Songs: Ohia (in their prime), Red Red Meat, some of Oldham's oeuvre, maybe even Songs: Ohia's recordings for Table of The Elements.
